The journey is quite tiring, a lot of trials in an attempt to get out of the place. Yes this time Kaito was a great success, he managed to get out of the cave that almost killed him.
But outside the cave is not a village, not a river, not a mountain, there is only a stretch of sand and the sun is glowing with very bright. Kaito sits in front of the mouth of the cave.
"How do I go ? I have to fight again with the heat of the desert ? what should I do ?"
Kaito was confused to see outside the cave there was only sand that was hot enough. Kaito stared at every corner of the desert and not the slightest look of the village, all he saw was a sand and the scorching heat of the sun.
"What should I do ? there's no way I'm going through that place, and there's no way I'm just gonna stay here"
Kaito who felt confused decided to sleep in front of the mouth of the cave.
"Try I can do something great to get out of this desert hmm"
Kaito gets bored just sitting down and he gets up and starts walking in the hot desert. His feet were burning with the heat of the desert. Kaito just looked ahead and hoped to find a settlement or shelter as soon as possible.
I don't know how long he's been walking, but he hasn't stopped at all to rest. His steps were faster walking in the desert, he looked at the front there was a lake with a lot of coconut trees. Kaito was astonished by what he saw.
"Great there's a lake ahead there, I need to hurry to that place"
Kaito ran towards the lake, but when it began to approach suddenly the lake disappeared. He felt like he was being played and sitting on the sand.
"Sial turned out to be just a mirage, I was tired and thirsty. Isn't there any water here huh huh"
Kaito lay tired, and he closed his eyes.
"I'm tired of wanting to sleep, hopefully after sleep there's an answer to my problem"
Kaito fell asleep on the hot sand, suddenly a strong wind blew carrying sand around him. Kaito opened his eyes and took off his mana forming a lightning shield. The sandstorm was split apart due to the lightning shield, instantly he recalled which ability.
"Truely, I should have used my mana ability to get out of this desert"
Kaito uses his lightning steps and stops his lightning shield. Kaito's speed is so fast that each step can move quite far. He ran at full speed and made the desert sand split in half due to his speed.
"I should have used it hahaha"
Every step was so fast that even the sandstorm could not stop it. In that speed, he continued to run through the desert and desert cliff walls. Until he's on the cliff. He stared into every corner looking for the whereabouts of the nearby village. At the eastern end of the village is clearly visible in the desert, he ran towards the village.
"Thank God I finally met a village"
Suddenly Kaito stopped his steps while in the middle of the road, a sand dune was seen and there was someone lying down. Kaito approached the man and helped him.
"Are you okay, Grandpa ?"
Grandpa looked so limp and unable to speak. He quickly grabbed the old man and walked towards the village. The grandfather seemed to have lost consciousness and Kaito walked with his lightning steps. Until they arrived in front of the village entrance.
"First I have to find a clinic in this village"
Kaito continued to carry the man until he arrived at the village. He kept asking the residents about the clinic, but they seemed to not understand the point. Suddenly the old granny approached Kaito and said.
"Bring that man to my place, I'll treat him"
Kaito followed her and reached the front of the grandmother's house. The grandmother opened the door and let Kaito in.
"Come in, put the man on the bed"
Kaito put the old man down, he looked at the grandmother. The grandmother checked the man's situation. Kaito just sat on a wooden chair in the corner of the room. After examining the grandfather, the grandmother approached her.
"It's been better for the young"
"Thank you"
"Would I make you some warm tea ?"
"Sure, thank you"
The grandmother walked over and made tea for Kaito. After a while the tea was provided to Kaito. The grandmother sat next to Kaito and drank her tea.
"Are you the man's brother, son ?"
"That's it"
"Then how's she doing Grandma ?"
"He was unharmed, but he probably couldn't stand the heat in the desert and ran out of food and drink, causing him to faint"
Kaito just fell silent and picked up a cigarette in his pocket. After lighting and smoking her cigarette she asked the grandmother.
"What village is Grandma ?"
The grandmother just kept quiet and enjoyed her tea.
"This is Hunt's village"
Kaito was astonished by the name of this village, he stared around the room. Suddenly the grandmother said.
"This village used to be so crowded, but everything has diminished since the desert storm and the robbers entered the village"
"Bandits ?"
"Yes, they robbed our place, and kidnapped the young girls in this village"
Kaito fell silent and drank it.
"Didn't anyone catch the robbers ?"
"Nobody dared to those robbers young man"
"Why can that be ?"
"Because, everyone is fighting the robber. They'll be killed and fail to return"
"So they're strong, huh ?"
"That's it, but lately they've not shown up again"
Kaito just fell silent and enjoyed his warm tea and cigarettes. The grandmother suddenly asked Kaito a surprising thing.
"Did you meet and kill those robbers ?"
"What do you mean by Grandma ?"
"Well, as I see it, you have something special"
"I mean grandma ?"
"The necklace you're wearing is a relic of the previous king"
"How did grandma know ?"
Kaito stood up and pulled out a ball of lightning and prepared to attack the grandmother.
"Calm down young man"
"Where do you know about my necklace ? answer !!"
"I certainly know, because the necklace used to belong to my master in the Ancient Kingdom"
"The Ancient Kingdom ?"
"Well if among us who have been the royal government troops call it the kingdom of the Pyramids"
Unbelieving the grandmother's words, Kaito was silent to hear them.
"It all started then"
